Honestly, if you put it in a gorgeous blush pink luxury bottle and charge $300-400 for it, fragcomm is going to lose their minds trying to love it, regardless of the scent. (Looking at you, Delina.) It’s perfectly engineered for hype. Expecting a massive Guidance declutter in 3 months.
Oh my gosh. It’s so beautiful. I absolutely LOVE this fragrance!! Such a creamy sweet slightly nutty rosy sandalwood. So beautiful. Toooooo many sprays lol. Get compliments EVERY TIME I wear it!! A complete masterpiece. Revisit it in the spring summer.
Straight up lied 🤥 I finally came across a page from three months ago where the influencer said it wasn’t for her🙌🏾 I was like thank you for keeping it 💯
I recently purchased a sample of this and I AM IN LOVE! I couldnt stop smelling myself. It smells soo good and my partner said I smelled good in it. I didn’t pair it with anything else. I do not smell any moth-ball or bus seats.
Guidance is polarising but it’s my biggest obsession, it doesn’t seem as strong to me now I’m used to it, the opening is quite sour but after 20mins people think it’s quite sweet and powdery. I hardly venture out of the house as I work from home but 3 weeks ago I went shopping and while I left a shop these 2 ladies where saying “excuse me, excuse me” literally out of breath 😂 they said we’ve been chasing you “ you smell absolutely unreal, we need to know what it is”. I guess it’s like catnip for some and kryptonite for others. I put a little in a decant on my side table when I first had, then I got obsessed I had to spray everyday. Hopefully you may grow to love if not send it my way lol
I’m only in the first 10 seconds of your video and I wish I saw your video BEFORE I blind bought the 100ml. I learned my lesson. This ends my blind buy experience. That opening note is sooooo funky and the way you described it is exactly what I smelled. Especially, the scent of the wash rag & moth balls. I feel so much better that someone else feels the same because as you said there were no negative reviews.
I layered Guidance with Kayali Vanilla Rock Sugar and I loved it after 2 hrs. I think I’m going to try layering Guidance and La Belle because of the pear note.
Yes! I thought I was the only one that got that OFF smell. Like, someone that has had a pad or diaper on with a little bit of pee and hasn’t washed up in a while.
Thank you for the Honest video. I feel the same. I wanted to love this fragrance. It's weird. I liked the scent that lingered in the envelope that my sample came in (mixed with Bianco Latte). But this on my skin is not right. Those that say this needs to be layered....why would I spend $360 for a grafrance that MUST be layered. No thanks.
Thank youuuu for being honest. I smelt this yesterday and my mind was made up.. influencers like Demi and Sherida and Sebastian and the rest of them LIED. Theyre getting these fragrances for free and hyped them up. This one smelt like BO and the extrait version smelt like rotten fruit. Please don't believe anything they say!
It's the Hazelnut note in Guidance that I find off-putting and it's too strong.. but besides that it's a beautiful fragrance. Amouage is one of the highest quality fragrance houses around today. Try some of their other fragrances.. they are divine 💓 Happy New Year 🌠🎄🌸
I liked it, it was okay for me, I didn’t love it, and wasn’t interested in purchasing it. But then, I received compliments like crazy about how good I smelled when I tested it and went to meet some people after. The scent rubbed off from my arm (where I sprayed the tester), to the sleeve of my blouse. And I wore the same blouse a few days later to a casual family gathering, and again, received compliments! A male cousin asked me what it was so he could get it for his wife. He almost didn’t believe me when I told him I wasn’t actually wearing perfume that day, it was a perfume I was testing days earlier that accidentally got on my blouse. Such a longevity and sillage beast. It’s making me consider getting a 50ml bottle. I have never gotten so many enthusiastic compliments over a perfume in my life. It’s crazy. I wish I could smell what they were smelling. To me it’s a pleasant sandalwood-pudding creamy-powdery scent with the tiniest pinch of salt from the ambergris.
Girl you tripping, guidance is phenomenal. It smells like heaven when it dries down, it's just beautiful. I would be intrigued to know if you changed your mind later.
Guidance works exceptionally well with my body chemistry. It's one of my most complimented scents. To anyone watching this, try this for yourself. Everyone's body chemistry is different. Guidance 46 is a bit lighter and more fruity than Guidance, so you may want to try that one if Guidance did not work for your body chemistry. I am a Guidance Fan. I love Guidance and Guidance 46. Amouage is not cheap, therefore I would not advise anyone simply blind buying this or any of the fragrances in that house. It's a win for me!
Girl let me tell you. I went to Paris 7 months ago. I sprayed a sample of this on a paper and put in in my purse. I did not like the way it smelled at all. Like I hated it, made me sick. Well , my purse STILL smells like it. I can’t stop smelling it and for some reason I want to buy it now. My purse smells so good now 😂
I bought it today because of so many recommendations here on TH-cam. I went to Neiman’s, I smelled it and I thought it was sweet and good. The sales lady sold me the big bottle. When I got home my husband told me he doesn’t like it at all and to return it before I open it. I will do that tomorrow for sure. I keep smelling it on my hand even though I sprayed it 8 hours ago. It’s just a sweet powdery old grandma smell but that’s it. It didn’t get any better since I sprayed it.
Omg i thought im the only one who smelled vinegar.first time i used it i was soooo pleased with it,2 weeks later i used it the second time and i was shocked by the smell coz it was totaly different and bad.i thought mine got bad because it is a decant but yours is a bottle.so whats the deal with the vinegar smell?it never ever happend to me with any perfume cheap or expensive
I felt the same way not too long ago. Tried it at the mall and all i got was hot dog and onion on my skin. I was still curious as to way so many are obsessed over this fragrance. I purchased zara’s version of it and love it. Again I purchased another dupe from Barrett perfume and I fell in love with guidance. I just placed an order with Julianna’s perfume for their version of guidance. It’s weird, I only got the hot dog and onion smell on my skin with the original. A dupe might change your mind.
I so wish I had seen this video before I bought it. I paid full price for it (which I'm unable to return) and this scent is definitely NOT for me 😔 I tried to like it....I just can't do it.
@@jeephairdontcare1631 Oh no, I’m sorry. I’ve seen some reviewers say that it grew on them, hopefully that’s the case for you. I haven’t smelt it but its appeal definitely seems like a coin toss. 😫
It comes down to skin chemistry. This is my ride or die and the compliments I get is crazy. It is only the fragrance that matches my personality to a T. The woman I aspire to be and confidence I want to have daily. It has to work on your skin and truly fragrance is so individual based. I hope it hasn’t been reformulated. But I feel you, it has to work for you and on your skin.
Hi Maria , I’m new subscriber. Thank you for the video, it happened to me many times when I listen to the reviewer and blind buy a bottle . I bought the Material after watch many rave review and I can’t stand it , and I almost buy this Guidance also but luckily I didn’t . You save us some coins , thank you so much !
Omg thats the best review ever 😂 and yesssssssss I'm with you, I also blind bought it and I cannot stand it although I did get compliments but in the end of the day if it doesn't please it it has got to go
Amouage is so expensive, it is soooooo important to test on the skin many days before you take the decision to buy it. I remember the first time I tried this fragrance on my skin, I didn`t enjoy it at all, and it is so long lasting…… After some months I tried again on my skin ( due to the hype… ) and I enjoyed, but not enough for me to purchased it, gave me a little bit of main stream sweet nutty scent like Girl Of Now edp from Elie Saab. They do not smell the same at all, I meant that nutty sweetness that lingers, the same vibe.
I have a sample At first I didn’t understand the perfume Then i liked it It leaves a scent trail in every room I enter I don’t know if i buy FB or not Can’t decide
I did it . I blind bought this because it came with 2 10 ml of the 46 and i dislike it. That first spray is overwhelming and i only received 1 compliment. Its smells like pickles
I’m always hesitant about blind buy with fragrances. Because some perfumes perform differently on everyone. I always like to go and test a fragrance on my skin first before I buy it online. That happens to me once. And also, everyone is different when it comes to scents notes in perfumes. It’s a risk when you blind buy.
Mothballs???…….zesus! Glad I didnt blind buy….. I don’t have the patience to wait until a dry down to know if I like it or not! It NEEDS to smell good right away ! Thank youuu
See I just found out about those two over the summer…I was all the was out of the loop…I like Delina & 540 but one time I sprayed on 540 I felt like I smelled like a kid that spilt her juice box all over her…that was the one time I wasn’t feeling it 😂
@@MariaCribbs I just knew I was going to love it. But it smelled like an old man to me. Not that someone can’t pull it off. Obviously. But it just wasn’t something I enjoyed at all. It’s so funny what our nose picks up!
Fragrance is so subjective. People either love or hate baccarat rouge, hate or love Bianco latte. I think the only perfume I’ve never heard any hate for is Mon Guerlain
I couldn’t get behind it either! It made me feel so sick to my stomach but then that could just be me 😂 it literally stuck with me all day so that wasn’t great 😫
The opening is so strong and sour. That rancid sour note is present before contact with the skin. It makes me mad because I also wanted to love it based on the reviews and Quentin Bisch being the perfumer. Thankful I only got the sample from Scentbird, when they had it.
Sooo damn funny! Had me BTFU! The coochie comment! 💀 I am a guy and I wear this and it's a crowd pleaser on me. Men and Women compliment me on it every single time. It's a creamy vanilla sandalwood on me. But I can totally see it being different and not good on some. On paper I didn't like it. I'm curious if you ever gave it another chance or got rid of it. Update us 😂😂
I bought Blanche bete back two days ago and it is the most sickly Jasmine, did I mention Jasmine sickly strong Jasmine!!! everyone that I’ve showed this perfume to has recoiled and screwed up their noses at it. It is unwearable. I’m wondering if it is a bad batch, it must happen surely???? I’ve reached out to the company. I have brought it from and also the company that makes it. Maybe you are the same. Maybe we have got bad batches of popular scents.
😂$250 for stAnk in a pretty bottle makes a great vanity table dust catcher. That coat is gonna need an old-fashioned waRshing. IJS 😊 Some of us seniors are just trying to use up All layers of the re-gifted fragrance sets y'all gave us, so we can get back to our Jean Nate and Chanel.😍 Enjoyed the video.❤
Amouage Honor woman is a lot better and love tuberous. I would definitely say get the samples from the site. That’s what I did. Buy samples first before you blind buy again 😂
@@MariaCribbs you should also sample: Oud Bouquet by Guerlain and Fancy by Jessica Simpson. Later them together. I put one spray of the Oud and three sprays of the fancy. *chefs kiss I’m not really into Oud at all but it was blind buy because TH-cam kept saying how good and sweet it was. To me it’s not sweet but when I layer it with Fancy.. now we talking.. 😂 😂 no more Oud for me though.. first and last Oud purchase 😂
Thanks for being honest. I have literally seen influencers first call it out for its funkiness and then retract it from pressure or whatever and say….oh I didn’t understand it at first but it actually nice. Whatevs. I don’t want to work hard to like something, you know? The full bottle is almost $400 with taxes and the smaller one isn’t chump change either. There are a lot of pretty and gorgeous perfumes out there. Even other pink ones😂 ( not just Delina). Can you believe they now have a $520 dollar Extrait of this and influencers already hyping it up saying it “fixes“ whatever was giving the funk in the OG. No thanks and why were they hyping it before about all the compliments with no mention that some people may find it funky. I unsubscribed from so many after that. I don’t need random compliments. I need to love it first. To think I thought something was wrong with my nose when everyone else singing high praise. Sheesh. It was obviously enough people that they decided to make a whole new version just 1 year after launching.
Amouage to me as a whole is a big no 😂. I had the same experience you did! Im mad you wore it out lmaoo for me it was a SCRUBBER! It actually made me nauseous🤷🏻♀️. I really believe its the olibanum note that ruins it. Ive tried other fragrances with that note & have had the same experience. It gives stuff that been put away in a dusty basement for a while😂😂
That’s exactly what it gives!! I need to stay away from that note!! Had me smelling like I had left my clothes in the washer too long before I dried them 😂😂
I was a no at first, second and third sniff on guidance. I would not write off the whole house though. Amouage under Chris Chong as creative director had some legendary gorgeously girly scents. Try samples or decants of Amouage Lilac Love, Honor Woman, or Love Tuberose. These are great entry levels to niche. Beautiful florals and gourmands interesting enough to appreciate non-linear perfumes but also subtle enough for work and daily stuff! I also like their diva ones like Epic, Memoir or Interlude woman but I can see those being a challenge for some people unless you’ve trained your nose a bit and go to BIG diva events on the regular. Edit: the opening was ick for Guidance but the mid was nicer and more floral. The dry down was ok but some of the funk came back periodically as a subtle underbelly like I’ve been sitting on a wet towel and just got up.
@@ladylush7931LMFAOOO😂 NO NO NO you are the normal one its our noses that are broken because everyone loves it but I hate it 😢. I even tried the new one guidance 46 & its more tolerable but still a big no for me. I'm so glad it worked out for you! Thats the beauty of fragrance what wont work for one will work for another👏🏼
I'm trying to figure out what TF I'm smelling. The top note is medicinal. It smells like plastic bandaids and crushed pills. Once it settles it's just a light floral. I can't get past the stinky opening. What is it? I bought it after hearing my friend talk about looking for it after smelling it on someone. Definitely don't blind buy it.
Subscribed to your channel because you are the only one that feels about Guidance the same way I do on my skin it takes a medicinal cough syrup smell - it is my biggest blind buy regret
Don't buy if you are obsessed with attention from people. I hot a sample and it is great. People may not compliment you because they may think you are out of their league. It depends on where you go and the mental state of the people at the time.
Exactly. I am listening and wondering what this review is about. Coz of this mindset we get all the hype over 3 perfumes and everybody smelling the same
Look i got it and returned next day, its really different fragrance but it's really weird smell that you don't know what this is lol... I almost shook with this smell in my skin. Butttttttt for sure this is a strong fragrance more that 24 hours, I wash my arms with like 5 time with soap and it doesn't go away lol... my husband was laughing 😃 telling me is inside your skin that is not going away for nothing.
I got a sample of Guidance based on the hype and absolutely hated it. Wayyy too strong. Can’t even describe the smell. Nothing was as I expected. Couldn’t scrub it off fast enough. Glad I only paid for a sample.
You make me want to go back and smell again, I love this scent 😂. It’s smell so powdery and soft on me. Girl gift me your bottle if you don’t want it 😂
Guidance is a hot scary mess. So glad I didn’t blind buy this junk. I did blind buy Amouage Sunshine and Overture Woman and I’m more than happy with both.
Influencers will hype up anything to the most. Yes, some fragrances might be good but definitely sample first. I sampled guidance and my daughter came in the room and said ewwww what's that vinegar smell!😂
Absolutely! I didn't like it either. I own Amouage fragrances. My honest impression was, Wait a minute, what is this hyped so much for? They were definitely paid to play😂
OMG the 2nd time i smelled it, it started smelling like a WOMEN'S PUBLIC BATHROOM! 😂😫..complete with the mustiness you catch in there sometimes. Its so weird The next day i can still smell it on my seatbelt. You weren't lying about longevity. Now i need to find a similar scent WITHOUT the cooch accord
Girl how many times you gone spray that! 😂🤣😭 just face it, it stinks! And I haven’t even smelled it and almost bought it lol.. u have me cracking up! Thanks for the review luv
Same girl same! I dont like any of the ones ive tried & ive tried a lot. Guidance is by far top 3 worse fragrance ive ever smelled in my life😂🥴. I think its the olibanum that ruins it.
I cackled. *No one asked what I was wearing, and I understand why* ☠ You are SO funny. I completely disagree with you, on this one. HOWEVER - you found a new follower. 💘
Yeah I’ve had one to many blind buys so I refuse to anymore 😅. Not you smelling the oochie Wally oochie bang bang rag 🤣🤣🤣 I wants nothing to do with anything anyone feels like has a stench or weird smell associated with it.
Fragcomm isn’t going to be honest. I mean some are more honest than others but overall they just want to sell perfume. Another perfume that is being hyped is the new Kayali rock candy and that one is a stinky patchouli bomb. But no one will say it out loud 😂
I love your description and I completely agree that there is something offputting in the fragrance. I’m laughing at the moldy wash rag. Luckily I didn’t get that. I get a creamy , salty nutty floral but there was a pencil shaving note in it for me that I couldn’t get out of my Nose. I don’t personally think it smells dirty. Sometimes people say sandalwood can smell like pickles or vinegar so maybe that’s what threw you off??? 😢sorry it didn’t work out.
You made me laugh so hard in the “I had more to say” section. Had to follow if you’re gonna be cutting up like this. I didn’t like Guidance either. I ordered a sample first thank goodness.. I had to wash it off. STANK.
It is very confusing scent. I have hundreds of perfumes. And I just could not understand. I'm shocked anyone would say it's a gentle smell. I'm frustrated as hell with 100mls of this
Woo chile I get it! On my channel I DO NOT! Follow the crowed or what everyone else is doing cause stuff really be hype, and 9x out of 10, I’m not going to like it. I like that you don’t join the club and speak your truth.
you are hilarious and beautiful! I had to sub! This scent is so polarizing it seems which definitely make me want to sniff. The bottle is so pretty, I will say that.
Not the stink wash rag memory. Lawd!! 😂 Love a funny storyteller.
Honestly, if you put it in a gorgeous blush pink luxury bottle and charge $300-400 for it, fragcomm is going to lose their minds trying to love it, regardless of the scent. (Looking at you, Delina.) It’s perfectly engineered for hype. Expecting a massive Guidance declutter in 3 months.

Oh my gosh. It’s so beautiful. I absolutely LOVE this fragrance!! Such a creamy sweet slightly nutty rosy sandalwood. So beautiful. Toooooo many sprays lol. Get compliments EVERY TIME I wear it!! A complete masterpiece. Revisit it in the spring summer.
I love it also!!!❤❤❤
I love it too ❤
Good! There’s hope for this. There’s a 8ml sample in Harrods advent. I can’t wait to try. I’m reporting back Monday… 😂
Yeah I got a decant from scentbird and I’m so glad I did. Cause the girls lied.
Straight up lied 🤥 I finally came across a page from three months ago where the influencer said it wasn’t for her🙌🏾 I was like thank you for keeping it 💯
No u guys dont get it
@@MariaCribbsoff to watch someone else that gets it
I recently purchased a sample of this and I AM IN LOVE! I couldnt stop smelling myself. It smells soo good and my partner said I smelled good in it. I didn’t pair it with anything else.
I do not smell any moth-ball or bus seats.
I'm getting a horrible medicinal smell, like crushed pills and plastic bandaids. Once it dries down it's okay.
Mannnnnn she said “old bus seats” I automatically knew the scent she was referring to. 😂😂😂😂

Oh, I didn’t realize they did that. I thought it had to be sealed, which I’ve never really understood returning a sealed fragrance?

I had to learn this lesson too. The stuff everyone is raving about I don’t like. BR540, Delina… not for me.
See I just found out about those two over the summer…I was all the was out of the loop…I like Delina & 540 but one time I sprayed on 540 I felt like I smelled like a kid that spilt her juice box all over her…that was the one time I wasn’t feeling it 😂
@@MariaCribbs I just knew I was going to love it. But it smelled like an old man to me. Not that someone can’t pull it off. Obviously. But it just wasn’t something I enjoyed at all. It’s so funny what our nose picks up!
@@deandrea5724I layer them together and it really is so beautiful. Adding in Lost Cherry takes it up a notch. Just beautiful.
Fragrance is so subjective. People either love or hate baccarat rouge, hate or love Bianco latte. I think the only perfume I’ve never heard any hate for is Mon Guerlain
for me it reminded me of crystal noir Versace , on my skin
🤷🏼♀️ 😅
All I get is PICKLES when I smell this scent. It’s a no for me. So glad I ordered a sample first.
I couldn’t get behind it either! It made me feel so sick to my stomach but then that could just be me 😂 it literally stuck with me all day so that wasn’t great 😫
It filled the car and the whole car ride I was hunched over wanting to puke 🤢
I was going to bling but but decided to get a sample. I hated it gave me a headache
The opening is so strong and sour. That rancid sour note is present before contact with the skin. It makes me mad because I also wanted to love it based on the reviews and Quentin Bisch being the perfumer. Thankful I only got the sample from Scentbird, when they had it.
Sooo damn funny! Had me BTFU! The coochie comment! 💀 I am a guy and I wear this and it's a crowd pleaser on me. Men and Women compliment me on it every single time. It's a creamy vanilla sandalwood on me. But I can totally see it being different and not good on some. On paper I didn't like it. I'm curious if you ever gave it another chance or got rid of it. Update us 😂😂
Thank you so much for this review, I thought I was the only one! Definitely took me back to an old scent from the 90s, not a fan.
I bought Blanche bete back two days ago and it is the most sickly Jasmine, did I mention Jasmine sickly strong Jasmine!!! everyone that I’ve showed this perfume to has recoiled and screwed up their noses at it. It is unwearable. I’m wondering if it is a bad batch, it must happen surely???? I’ve reached out to the company. I have brought it from and also the company that makes it. Maybe you are the same. Maybe we have got bad batches of popular scents.
This is the funnest video ever. Its a "soft funky" 😢😢😢😂😂😂😂😂
I agree with you 💯I thought the same thing idk what all the hype is about you described it well 😅😅
😂$250 for stAnk in a pretty bottle makes a great vanity table dust catcher. That coat is gonna need an old-fashioned waRshing. IJS 😊 Some of us seniors are just trying to use up All layers of the re-gifted fragrance sets y'all gave us, so we can get back to our Jean Nate and Chanel.😍 Enjoyed the video.❤
It stank so bad!! Ok so you’re a Chanel Gal!!😍❤
Amouage Honor woman is a lot better and love tuberous. I would definitely say get the samples from the site. That’s what I did. Buy samples first before you blind buy again 😂
Imma be on here reviewing samples in a minute!! This stuff cost too much to not be hits!!🔥😂
@@MariaCribbs 😂😂 that’s a fact!
@@MariaCribbs you should also sample: Oud Bouquet by Guerlain and Fancy by Jessica Simpson. Later them together. I put one spray of the Oud and three sprays of the fancy. *chefs kiss
I’m not really into Oud at all but it was blind buy because TH-cam kept saying how good and sweet it was. To me it’s not sweet but when I layer it with Fancy.. now we talking.. 😂 😂 no more Oud for me though.. first and last Oud purchase 😂
*layer them together
Love Tuberose is so pretty!
lolololololol baby that guidance on me was straight dog pee lolololol
Thanks for being honest. I have literally seen influencers first call it out for its funkiness and then retract it from pressure or whatever and say….oh I didn’t understand it at first but it actually nice. Whatevs. I don’t want to work hard to like something, you know? The full bottle is almost $400 with taxes and the smaller one isn’t chump change either. There are a lot of pretty and gorgeous perfumes out there. Even other pink ones😂 ( not just Delina). Can you believe they now have a $520 dollar Extrait of this and influencers already hyping it up saying it “fixes“ whatever was giving the funk in the OG. No thanks and why were they hyping it before about all the compliments with no mention that some people may find it funky. I unsubscribed from so many after that. I don’t need random compliments. I need to love it first. To think I thought something was wrong with my nose when everyone else singing high praise. Sheesh. It was obviously enough people that they decided to make a whole new version just 1 year after launching.
Amouage to me as a whole is a big no 😂. I had the same experience you did! Im mad you wore it out lmaoo for me it was a SCRUBBER! It actually made me nauseous🤷🏻♀️. I really believe its the olibanum note that ruins it. Ive tried other fragrances with that note & have had the same experience. It gives stuff that been put away in a dusty basement for a while😂😂
That’s exactly what it gives!! I need to stay away from that note!! Had me smelling like I had left my clothes in the washer too long before I dried them 😂😂
I was a no at first, second and third sniff on guidance. I would not write off the whole house though. Amouage under Chris Chong as creative director had some legendary gorgeously girly scents. Try samples or decants of Amouage Lilac Love, Honor Woman, or Love Tuberose. These are great entry levels to niche. Beautiful florals and gourmands interesting enough to appreciate non-linear perfumes but also subtle enough for work and daily stuff! I also like their diva ones like Epic, Memoir or Interlude woman but I can see those being a challenge for some people unless you’ve trained your nose a bit and go to BIG diva events on the regular.
Edit: the opening was ick for Guidance but the mid was nicer and more floral. The dry down was ok but some of the funk came back periodically as a subtle underbelly like I’ve been sitting on a wet towel and just got up.
I'm selling this on my wrist and reading you guys comments and I feel like y'all are gaslighting me because this is gorgeous! It's all in the dry down
Smelling*
@@ladylush7931LMFAOOO😂 NO NO NO you are the normal one its our noses that are broken because everyone loves it but I hate it 😢. I even tried the new one guidance 46 & its more tolerable but still a big no for me. I'm so glad it worked out for you! Thats the beauty of fragrance what wont work for one will work for another👏🏼
I'm trying to figure out what TF I'm smelling. The top note is medicinal. It smells like plastic bandaids and crushed pills. Once it settles it's just a light floral. I can't get past the stinky opening. What is it? I bought it after hearing my friend talk about looking for it after smelling it on someone. Definitely don't blind buy it.
Vinegary and a funky stench? Oh hell naw🤔🤣🤣
That’s what I’m saying just stinky🤣❤
Yes! I tested it out and my daughter walked into the room and she said ewwww what smells like vinegar 😂
Subscribed to your channel because you are the only one that feels about Guidance the same way I do on my skin it takes a medicinal cough syrup smell - it is my biggest blind buy regret
I couldn’t believe it! I just knew I was going to love it 😫….they tricked us!!😂❤
OMG! You look like Keri Hilson.! I am not the first one to tell you this right?
Don't buy if you are obsessed with attention from people. I hot a sample and it is great. People may not compliment you because they may think you are out of their league. It depends on where you go and the mental state of the people at the time.
Exactly. I am listening and wondering what this review is about. Coz of this mindset we get all the hype over 3 perfumes and everybody smelling the same
Look i got it and returned next day, its really different fragrance but it's really weird smell that you don't know what this is lol... I almost shook with this smell in my skin. Butttttttt for sure this is a strong fragrance more that 24 hours, I wash my arms with like 5 time with soap and it doesn't go away lol... my husband was laughing 😃 telling me is inside your skin that is not going away for nothing.
To be fair, a lot of people said that it’s not blind buy safe.
It's a scrubber for me. Sold my decant on Mercari 😬
I got a sample of Guidance based on the hype and absolutely hated it. Wayyy too strong. Can’t even describe the smell. Nothing was as I expected. Couldn’t scrub it off fast enough. Glad I only paid for a sample.
Smells like "Old Bus Seats"🤣😆😂
💀
I smelled it in store and I was like what
Now I’ll be over to smell them 😂😂
😂😂😂😂❤
You make me want to go back and smell again, I love this scent 😂. It’s smell so powdery and soft on me. Girl gift me your bottle if you don’t want it 😂
lol You can’t over spray this one. 2 sprays at the most.
Guidance is a hot scary mess. So glad I didn’t blind buy this junk. I did blind buy Amouage Sunshine and Overture Woman and I’m more than happy with both.
I. Am. Hollering. Let me go sample this first. I almost dropped that $260 earlier today 😂
Yea sis I returned mine yesterday 😂😂🤦🏾♀️
Influencers will hype up anything to the most. Yes, some fragrances might be good but definitely sample first.
I sampled guidance and my daughter came in the room and said ewwww what's that vinegar smell!😂
Absolutely! I didn't like it either. I own Amouage fragrances. My honest impression was, Wait a minute, what is this hyped so much for? They were definitely paid to play😂
Thanks! I say selling to your youtube family that might like that one! NO REFUNDS!!!! 😂
This one should just be a giveaway!!😂❤
I love this fragrance. I’m looking to have a backup bottle if I can find a good discount. Can you sell it to me. Thanks!
OMG the 2nd time i smelled it, it started smelling like a WOMEN'S PUBLIC BATHROOM! 😂😫..complete with the mustiness you catch in there sometimes. Its so weird
The next day i can still smell it on my seatbelt. You weren't lying about longevity. Now i need to find a similar scent WITHOUT the cooch accord
Not the cooch accord 😩😂😂😅
@@Laroc1982 😢😂
Sell it! Return it! You got options 😊
Girl how many times you gone spray that! 😂🤣😭 just face it, it stinks! And I haven’t even smelled it and almost bought it lol.. u have me cracking up! Thanks for the review luv
My experience with the whole brand Amouage is just meh… I didn’t like any of their fragrances.
Same girl same! I dont like any of the ones ive tried & ive tried a lot. Guidance is by far top 3 worse fragrance ive ever smelled in my life😂🥴. I think its the olibanum that ruins it.
I cackled. *No one asked what I was wearing, and I understand why* ☠ You are SO funny. I completely disagree with you, on this one. HOWEVER - you found a new follower. 💘
Yeah I’ve had one to many blind buys so I refuse to anymore 😅.
Not you smelling the oochie Wally oochie bang bang rag 🤣🤣🤣
I wants nothing to do with anything anyone feels like has a stench or weird smell associated with it.
I was like hold up🤔 I know that smell 😂😂 yeah I can’t keep doing the blind buys…I was so mad!! 😂😂❤
Fragcomm isn’t going to be honest. I mean some are more honest than others but overall they just want to sell perfume. Another perfume that is being hyped is the new Kayali rock candy and that one is a stinky patchouli bomb. But no one will say it out loud 😂
I love your description and I completely agree that there is something offputting in the fragrance. I’m laughing at the moldy wash rag. Luckily I didn’t get that. I get a creamy , salty nutty floral but there was a pencil shaving note in it for me that I couldn’t get out of my
Nose. I don’t personally think it smells dirty. Sometimes people say sandalwood can smell like pickles or vinegar so maybe that’s what threw you off??? 😢sorry it didn’t work out.
You made me laugh so hard in the “I had more to say” section. Had to follow if you’re gonna be cutting up like this. I didn’t like Guidance either. I ordered a sample first thank goodness.. I had to wash it off. STANK.
That’s how i feel about Angels Share and any Tom Ford scent 🤷🏾♀️. I don’t like them.
It is very confusing scent. I have hundreds of perfumes. And I just could not understand. I'm shocked anyone would say it's a gentle smell. I'm frustrated as hell with 100mls of this
I'll take it off your hands for you 💗
Let me know if you want to sell this one.
Ps: yeah that off-putting note is there…. I got it strongly the first time I tested it and didn`t like it.
Omg I said the same thang
Woo chile I get it! On my channel I DO NOT! Follow the crowed or what everyone else is doing cause stuff really be hype, and 9x out of 10, I’m not going to like it. I like that you don’t join the club and speak your truth.
you are hilarious and beautiful! I had to sub! This scent is so polarizing it seems which definitely make me want to sniff. The bottle is so pretty, I will say that.
You’re the best lol
I’m so glad I didn’t try it coz yuck lol 😂 thank you girl!
Send it to me 😂🤞🏾
